Are you saying that you are now able to retrieve email from your Gmail account without using OAuth2?

Yes, I am, through an email client.
If you read the web page I linked above you find this section:

If you must use Gmail with older versions of Outlook, or other mail clients that don't support OAuth, follow the steps in this section

And follow the instructions.

Hope this helps.

I already solved this.
In menu Configuration | Edit accounts | Edit | Receive
the IMAP4 authentication method was set to Automatic.
There is an option to OAuth2.  Probably the automatic was using OAuth2, according to instructions from
Set up Gmail with a third-party email client
https://support.google.com/a/answer/9003945

Any of the options 'LOGIN' or 'PLAIN'  are good to be able to connect to the gmail account.

Thank you all for your support.

But used to work before the upgrade.

I haven't yet configured my own email server, so, I'm still using the devil's tools.
Well, the internet cables, routers and backbone servers are all theirs, as well.

I don't know why it is trying to use Oauth2.
It tries so for gmail and also for yandex mail.
Before the upgrade this was working very well, no problems at all.

Hi all,

After the system upgrade to Daedalus it was not possible anymore to use Sylpheed to send or receive emails.
Two accounts are configured from two big email providers.

A message box appears showing an error: Could not establish a connection to the server.

The log windows shows:

It was working very fine in Chimaera.
Is it just me or a general issue?
